The eldest son, Li Xiuning, was wearing red armor, sitting next to Li Shentong, standing in front of Xu Shiji, and holding Li Shimin's letter in his hand.

"Princess, the King of Qin has a letter, asking Her Royal Highness the Princess to move the army to Huguan and attack Changshan at any time." Xu Shiji looked at Li Xiuning with admiration, although this woman was ambiguous with Li Xin, and even gave birth to a son for him, but Xu Shiji liked such a woman very much, Shen Ruyan was captured by Li Xin, what happened, Xu Shiji didn't want to guess at all, everyone in the world knew Li Xin's hobby, Xu Shiji quickly left Shen Ruyan behind, and turned to prepare to attack Li Xiuning, and got Li Xiuning far more than ten Shen Ruyan.

"Impossible, Father's Holy Decree, this palace is just sitting on the eldest son, ready to attack Li Xin's back road at any time, not to Huguan." Li Xiuning didn't want to refuse, she was different from Li Shimin, Li Shimin was bold and risky with soldiers, Li Xiuning may be able to take risks, but he will definitely not risk his father and brother. So although Li Shimin's plan is very tempting, it is not enough to impress Li Xiuning.

"Princess, the last general thinks that Li Xin will never attack the Sparrow Mouse Valley, and even if he does, it is only to deter our army." Xu Shiji's thoughts are the same as Li Shimin's, thinking that the current Li Xin definitely does not have the mind to attack Jinyang in a big way.

"Nothing is impossible." Li Shentong's voice was very flat, and he said: "Other aspects may not be ready, but militarily it is definitely enough, and he can attack Jinyang at any time." Seize the world that belongs to Da Zhao. ”

"You go down first!" Li Xiuning finally sighed, there was also news in Jinyang recently, and Li Shimin's bold and reckless behavior even made her feel afraid.

"Yes." Xu Shiji sighed in his heart and slowly retreated.

"Uncle Shentong, why did this happen, father, son and brother, there is not even a little trust." Li Xiuning couldn't help but let out a long sigh, she felt a trace of exhaustion. Exhaustion like never before.

"This has been the case since ancient times when there has been a struggle for power." Li Shentong sighed and said. He also felt a trace of worry about the current situation, Li Xinbing came to the city, Li Shimin sat on the army, but did not come to the rescue, which made Li Shentong feel a little dissatisfied.

"I'll write him a letter." Li Xiuning finally said: "Hebei itself is full of holes, we can attack at any time, if Jinyang is lost, we have nothing, if the father and the crown prince are all gained by Li Xin, even if we have a firm foothold in Hebei?" Lee Shin got merged. Do you just watch us gain a firm foothold in Hebei? Li Xin wouldn't be so stupid. King Qin was wrong about this. Li Shentong listened and nodded.

Raoyang, only two hundred miles away from Le Shou, Li Shimin's tens of thousands of troops are gathered here, since he came out of Boling, he found that something was wrong, Boling Cui did not provide him with food and grass, so he had to stop in Raoyang, very close to Le Shou, Li Shimin is also powerless.

"How?" Li Shimin looked at the Tuohe River outside the city. The face is gloomy.

"Uncle Cui received a secret letter from Pei Lian, so that the Cui family must not provide grain and grass for the army, and even the families in Hebei will not provide grain and grass for the army." Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "Cui Mingan told his subordinates that the emperor's holy decree is already on the way. It is estimated that it will reach the hands of King Qin tomorrow. ”

"Huh! What is my father going to do? Li Shimin did not think that his actions were wrong. Li Xin didn't attack the Bird Mouse Valley now, and he didn't even attack Huoyi, so Li Yuan was so frightened that he let himself return to the army, which was too much of a fuss. It's better to attack Le Shou yourself, and after killing Le Shou, you can hit Dou Jiande. If you can't fight back against Dou Jiande, Li Shimin thinks that as long as you give yourself a month, you can solve this matter.

It's a pity that no one will give themselves a month, the grain and grass in the army rely on the support of the Kanto family, and now the Kanto family no longer supports it, and Li Shimin can only stop at Raoyang.

"In addition to the temple, it will be reduced to a concubine." The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "And Li Xin has already mobilized 100,000 troops in Guanzhong and is preparing to attack Huoyi. ”

"Does he really want to go to war with us?" Li Shimin's face changed at this time, and he said, "Isn't he afraid that the Turks will settle accounts with him?" Destroy my Da Zhao, and the others will definitely unite and attack Guanzhong, if you add the Turks, I'm afraid he Li Xin won't be able to hold it! There is also a grudge against him and will not help him. ”

"For Li Xin, we are the great enemy." Fang Xuanling said.

"My subordinates heard that Liu Wenjing has gone to Turkic." The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while, and then said: "If you don't get it right, there is still the possibility of getting along." "This is a top-secret news, even Pei Lin and the others don't know about it, and only the eldest grandson Wuji faintly knows about it, and it hasn't come out.

"And pro?" Li Shimin's face changed, and he said, "Is the news accurate?" ”

"The subordinates guess that it is very likely, and the object is Princess Pingyang." The eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice: "My subordinates think that the emperor may negotiate with Li Xin and marry Princess Pingyang to Li Xin. ”

Li Shimin quickly understood the meaning of this, and first asked the Turks to agree to make peace, but on this side, he offered Princess Pingyang to Li Xin, and let Li Xin and the Turks fight. Li Shimin's heart was desolate, when did Li Zhao use this way to get safety.

"Does the prince know about this?" Li Shimin said calmly.

"I don't know." The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "King Qin, my subordinates think that Hebei has been ruined by us, even if Dou Jiande gets Hebei again, as long as we attack next, Hebei will still be ours, but now we must return to the army, return to the army Bird Mouse Valley." ”

"Shall we go back?" Li Shimin is still a little worried, after all, he resisted the decree, after all, he killed five servants, once he goes back, will his Lao Tzu find trouble for himself? Li Shimin is really not sure!

"If the emperor asks you to go back, persuade him with good words, and prepare to give King Qin an official promotion, his subordinates will persuade King Qin to stay in Hebei, but now he is in a reprimanding tone, which means that the emperor still cares about the relationship between father and son, although he is angry, but he will not attack King Qin, after going back, as long as he defeats Li Xin and lets Li Xinbing retreat from the Bird Mouse Valley, King Qin will naturally sit back and relax, even if it is a little punishment, it is harmless." Fang Xuanling said with confidence.

"Yes, after all, King Qin attacked Hebei, and there was hard work without merit. We are now in Raoyang, and there is not much road from Bingzhou, isn't this the only way to get here on the march? The eldest grandson Wuji also said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness, this is an opportunity, if it is too late, I'm afraid it will be a little bad." Fang Xuanling still said very seriously.

Li Shimin nodded, at this time, the most important thing is the monarch and ministers, father, father and son, if you are a son, you don't even save your father and brother, but support the army, don't say that outsiders can speak, even the courtiers around you will not really hand over their lives to you. Li Shimin is a generation of heroes, and he also understands this truth at this moment.

"It's a pity, so you have to return to the army." Li Shimin didn't know the changes in the court at this moment, and he didn't know that Li Yuan's murderous intentions against him, if he knew, I am afraid that Li Shimin would not return to the army if he killed him, but hid in Hebei, even if his reputation is bad, at least there is a time for slow recovery, looking at Li Xin's reputation is not necessarily any better, and there are still countless civil ministers and military generals who are following behind?

Li Shimin began to withdraw the army the next day, and as soon as he withdrew the army, the grain and grass of the Kwantung family began to be supplied, which made Li Shimin extremely dissatisfied, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji in private: "Although I hate Li Xin very much, I have to say that some of his views are correct, these families are not good things, look at it!" One day, I will definitely destroy the great families of Kanto. ”

"They are supporting the crown prince." Eldest Sun Wuji said softly.

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and then stopped talking, don't look at the courtesy he received in the Boling Cui family, but Li Shimin can still see that the Cui family does not take a fancy to him, for these old families, it is always the eldest son who inherits the throne, not himself.

"King Qin, Princess Pingyang has sent a letter." Fang Xuanling rode over and said.

"You don't have to look at it, you don't need to look at this king to know that Sanniang is asking me to return to the army, hehe, she is thinking about her father and brother, but she doesn't know that her father and brother are calculating her and want to give her to Jieli Khan." Li Shimin didn't read the letter either, shook his head and said: "Back then, she married Chai Shao for the benefit of the family, even if she had feelings with Li Xin, she could only contact in private, and now Li Zhao has established, and the Li family sold her again in order to make Li Xin have a strong enemy, and in turn, she is still persuading this king." I'm afraid it's not this king who suffers the most, but her. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were silent when they heard this, and they had to admit that Li Xiuning was a heroine who had paid too much for the Li family, and he still betrayed his father and brother to this day.

"Is there any news of Li Xin? Has Huoyi been breached? Li Shimin said casually. He knew that his return to the army was probably one of Li Xin's calculations, which was to let Hebei stay for a while so that his layout could succeed.

"Li Xin led a large army to come, Qu Tutong did not dare to resist, and led the soldiers and horses to withdraw from Huoyi, I heard that even the people of Huoyi were withdrawn to the Bird Mouse Valley, and what was left to Li Xin was just an empty city." Eldest Sun Wuji hurriedly said.

"Empty city? The family has already come to the doorstep, no wonder the father is afraid. Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"With Qu Tutong's army of more than 10,000 people, plus the soldiers and horses in the hands of the prince, they can resist Li Xin for a while." Fang Xuanling said in a low voice. I was also relieved in my heart, if Li Xin really broke through the Bird Mouse Valley, I am afraid that even if Li Shimin returned to Jinyang, Li Yuan would settle accounts with him.
